Missed a couple.

Tyson couldn't have been that wasteful because the commentators were calling him our best kick with a 'dynamite' left. Obviously that's not normally the case but...

Still gets caught way too much but his disposal was on today.

 


Umpires: on our side (for once).

A few odd ones against us but especially in the first half we were one the right side of the umps.

Petracca underdone??  He missed 1 game!

Every time Weid clunks a mark, or jags a goal, his confidence lifts a little.  He is holding his own during his small stints in the ruck, and he took his chances today when they were presented to him.

Of course we would like him to do more, but right now he is playing his role nicely within the side.  There is no reason to drop him at this point as he's working really well in tandem with both Hogan and T Mac.

Nice job on the 3 word analysis as well, joeboy.

Lazy re-hashed assessment of Tyson. "Wasteful" is the last word I would associate with his game today.

Other than that, pretty accurate.

I tend to agree. There is a player there, and as much as I like Pedo, I think we should persevere with Weid. At least for another month anyway.

Agree with comments on both the weed and on joeboy.

 

Re the Weed, i watched his positioning today and it was clear he was no. 3. He was very rarely the target, typically ran the decoys or dragged defenders away from the pack.  The ball mostly went towards TMac or Gawn.

 

I think this will change as he clunks more and becomes trusted.  But he is playing his role well and the forward line is clicking so i wouldn't change anything.

I feel like I'm always the one being critical of him, but he had a chance early in the game to impose himself when Hannan skied the ball. He needed to launch at it and mark it in his hands. He tried to mark it on his chest and this allowed Webster to run back and spoil without giving away a free kick for not looking at the ball. Great spoil but an easy free kick to draw for a marking player.

Tom McDonal burnt him in the first quarter on another opportunity where he had a nice run at it with an open 50, unfortunately the kick wasn't high enough and was intercepted.

He needs to give us more in the first half of games if he is going to remain in the team.

Great post Joeboy.

But who's underrating Oscar McDonald?

 We now have a 10 year Full back. His first pack mark in the first minute against 3 saints was sensational.

I think one of the best things about Oscar is that he is an example of what happens when you have a decent development program in place.

Oscar came in with no real expectations and was allowed to develop at his own pace. Latitude was given for mistakes that were made and now we have a solid fullback.

If he can put on a bit more condition without losing any speed, then we'll be set.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
